Ideation workshop

Your case challenge

• Write down your case challenge and the preconditions from your case company

• What is the potential of the solution to the challenge (what can be gained? And for whom?)

Opportunity analysis

• Identify areas of opportunities for new

innovative solutions in relation to your case

• These areas are used next to brainstorm on

Brainstorming rules

The rules:

Go for quantity

Always say yes!

Don´t judge (there is plenty of time for that later)

Format:

Write one idea down on each post-it

Name your ideas

Draw illustrations if possible

Brainstorm 1: by yourself

• Generate as many ideas as possible – at least 10!

Brainstorm 2: in your group

• Look at the ideas in your group

• Can you combine some of the ideas?

• Brainstorm on new ideas – at least 50

Brainstorm 3: with words

• When hearing the words make associations to create new ideas – 2 min for each word

Storytelling

Airport

Rain

Neighbours

Ants

2050

Gold

Clustering

• Categorize your ideas into themes and name them accordingly

• Keep organizing until you find appropriate clusters of ideas

Brainstorm 4, Brainwriting

• Each group member circulate around to the other groups and add your ideas (each team use specific color post-its for reference)

• Take some time to get an overview of and understand the new ideas

Evaluation and selection

• What are your team’s criteria to the solution you are to develop?

• Write these down (at least 5 criteria)

Dot voting

• Each group member gets a total of 10 votes

• Mark the favorite ideas with a dot, keeping in mind your selection criteria

• Select 10 ideas with most dots to take further in the process

Weighted idea selection

• Rate your criteria from 1-10, where 10 is the highest score

• Give every idea points based on the criteria

• Calculate total scores for each idea

• Select the top 3 ideas with most points (?)

Describe in details your ideas and create 3 concepts

• Name your concepts

• Describe the product/process

• Who are the customers and end-users?

• Can you describe the user experience?

– E.g.: Sensoric, interaction, situations, associations/storytelling, health benefits

– => Value creation? ?

• What kind of innovation is it (potentially)?

Present and get feedback

• Each group presents and gets feedback

• Focus the feedback on where you see potential
